Rita, WeddingOnce again thank you for taking so much trouble with the music for Joanna's wedding. The whole feel of the service was ethereal thanks to your wonderful music. We have received so many compliments and just wanted to pass this on to you. The reception music was great too and added to the ambience of the palm court. It was a day we will remember for the rest of our lives.

Gill, WeddingI wanted to thank you most sincerely for your part in making David and Sarah's wedding absolutely perfect...you were all I had expected and more. Your playing was superb, contained lots of variety but was sensitive and set the scene beautifully both musically and visually. Well done!
